Vision Australia Carols By Candlelight - Rehearsal night (NOT SOLD OUT - TURN UP EARLY!)
Rehearsal Night is a great way of experiencing much of the fun and splendour of Vision Australia's Carols by Candlelight at a significantly reduced rate. It is a great opportunity to see how the event comes together and get a sneak preview of the show. It allows for performers to rehearse and broadcast partners and organisers to test the event. This involves sound checks and rehearsals for performances. Television favourites Daryl Somers and Plucka Duck, and some young friends, help create some Christmas fun!
When: The date this year is Saturday 23rd December. Gates will open at 4pm, and expected start time is 8pm.
Where: Rehearsal Night is also at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl which is located in the gardens of King's Domain Park.
Tickets: Entry fee is $2 per person including children. Children under three are admitted free. There is no reserved seating for this event. Unfortunately there is no capacity to purchase tickets prior to the show. Vision Australia recommends that you arrive a few hours prior to gate opening time to secure your entry. Each year there are more and more people attending the rehearsal.
